flickmaker joins the ring havers club! 2015 SASFL Pats are the Super Bowl champs!

Oberst, the leage mascot, is back to troll us all.

Who wants to join up and dethrone ~Jimmy G~



* We will be playing on All Pro Difficulty. We will use default sliders at the onset, and I reserve the right to make slight modifications depending on ~*EA MAGIC*~ (last year, we had to dial down CPU QB accuracy because Matt Flynn would go 21/22 on a user, and CPU INTs were dialed down a degree). For many of us, these sliders won't really matter but it's a pretty big boon to newer players to reduce the CPU game frustration. These have no effect on user games.
* Quarters will be 6 minutes with no run down.
* I am undecided on how we should approach Coach vs Owner, and I'm going to let us debate prior to the game's release. Last year Owner was pretty broken and many teams couldn't resign any Free Agents unless they relocated to a big market to actually make cash. Being a Coach negates that, but removes Hot Dog Vendor Simulator 2015 and relocation ability. We eventually went with the mantra of do either or, and it worked out well. I'm leaning that way this year.
* Cheesing isn't tolerated here. We can discuss it on a case by case basis, but lets not let it come to that. Let's be good sportsmen in here. Includes, but not limited to (going for it on 4th downs deep in your own field, nano blitzes, or abusing no huddle. If you have to think that a play you're using may be cheap or laughed at in the real NFL, you should probably not run it.)
* Running up the score aggressively on users is frowned upon.
* Changing teams is allowed, but only in the offseason. Once the season begins you are stuck with your team until the next preseason. No jumping teams mid-season.
* Pubbies can only join this league if an existing member will vouch for them and risk their place in the league. While we have had some pretty good pubbies in the league, we've had a few utter shitheads and we'd rather just keep them out.


CPU Games
Get them in, get the W. I don't care if you need to restart to get the W, but please don't restart just to pad stats or shake off injuries. If you blow them out, that's fine, but let's not restart 8 times to get your QB 900 yards. A new feature this year will allow me to assign a W to any matchup, so if you can't play a CPU game this year, we can discuss as a league if a sim or assigning a W is appropriate. Which will help keep CPU teams out of the playoffs, as in the past few years we've had people lose playoff spots to CPU sims.

Trades
Trading with the CPU is enabled until Week 4. Exploit the logic at your own risk!. We can discuss this as the year goes on or before we even start, but most of us shouldn't need to trade with the CPU. Generally, the overwhelming majority does not like this being available as it can and will be abused.


Team Priority
Any returning goons from last year's league get their first dibs on keeping their old team, or taking a new one. I will post the team list as it was at the end of our last season.

If there are disputes, and I know at least one (dave vs jabro for the Giants), please work these out amongst each other. I am not making any decision as to who will win a dispute on a team.

If you are not returning to a team, please post. With 32 teams, everyone should get a team that can play to their preference, and it's never guaranteed everyone will play beyond a season so some teams can and do open back up.


Schedule:
I aim to advance us on a 3 schedule, no questions asked. If all games are in before that advance period we may advance, but to start off we'll go with 4 days. Please let Dubious know after 24 hours if you can't get a hold of your opponent and we will work from there. If everyone is done before hand, we will advance early. If you are the last person we are waiting on then you have 24 hours. So if everyone is done in 12 hours except for 1 person then he has 1 day after that to finish up their week or the league will advance. If you are playing the CPU then we expect your game to be done within 48 hours unless you mention it here.

He copypasted most of the old OP, so dont worry about that now. Giants are open in this league: SASFL (training camp rosters); however I have reserved them for resident NYC poster davecrazy in BIZARRO LEAGUE (week 17 rosters), which I haven't made yet because the roster isnt out yet. Join as the Jets in bizarro for double NYC fun

A school festival is a festival that takes place at our school!
I'll take the Raiders in Bizarro if Paperback doesn't!

Also, I'm pretty happy with my team and the various free agent pickups. Chris Ivory is like a mini Beast Mode, constantly breaking tackles. Tolbert compliments him great as well. After coming off a season with old man Steven Jackson and Joseph Randle at fullback, it feels like Night & Day.

My rookie QB is alot more accurate then I expected as well. I was surprised he was still sitting there at the end of the 1st round since he was one of the few quarterbacks that scouted positive for my system.

Finally, I love all my linebackers. They were consistently all over the ball and knocking the crap out of anyone they could find.


It was a hollow victory playing against the CPU since ShortThug left :( That Cardinals offense really got screwed by retirements as well, losing Carson Palmer & Chris Johnson. Now they have Matt Barkley leading with Stepfan Taylor starting at HB. Their offense only gained 39 yards.

I was really looking forward to a NFCCG to see if I could come close to bottling up the run. Oh well, hopefully ShortThug is back next year!

Great to see some new people signing up for the league. It was an odd year having only Ty and I in the NFC East since it is usually a bloodbath.


Just added it up, 8 user games this year, woooooooooooooooooooo

Updated team listing.

I'll invite the new folks tonight.

@megatron, the Vikes are a pretty good, well balanced team in this league. I played them in Week 1 and they have an Adrian Peterson - Lamar Miller 1-2 punch at running back with great lines on both sides of the ball. You should have a good time.

Crank it to 300% and forget about it imo. I did a season by myself with that setting and i actually got to develop guys who weren't starters. If we're shooting for two seasons, it's the best number anyway.

Yeah when your HB goes for 311 combined yards and 4TDs and the defense gets 4 INTs it's going to be a long day.

The king is dead! Raiders beat the Pats 17-7 at Foxboro.

Not a stellar performance by my offense, save for a couple deep balls to Amari. Aldon Smith and Justin Tuck got after it with some key sacks forcing punts instead of FGs and 1st downs. And minimized Gronk to 8/56.

gg flick, let's hope for another playoff rematch

Got my invite, thanks. I'm getting loving wrecked by the Browns which does not bode well. I've started over I think four times now and need a break. Cromwell is regularly breaking 2-3 tackles and ODB is dropping tons of passes.

What roster is this using? I don't seem to have Will Tye or my head coach. Feels like a different team to the regular Play Now mode--Randle and ODB drop a lot of balls and Eli is less reliable. At least Vereen constantly gets dumpstered in the backfield so there's consistency there.
